Modern Security is More than Military Spending: Towards a Single Security Budget?

Event info

This event will look at the possibility of a ‘single security budget’ as a key step to face emerging threats that no longer correspond to conventional defence capabilities. A holistic approach to security could entail a rethink in budgetary planning, both for the European Union and NATO alliance.

The event is part of Friends of Europe’s work on peace, security and defence, firmly anchored in our expertise across a range of fields, including energy and climate change, geopolitics, international development, migration and health. We seek a holistic approach to European, transatlantic and global security policies. Security considerations are, in turn, mainstreamed into these areas of expertise, enriching the debate by forcing experts to think outside their comfort zones.
